• Based on your application, apply labels to the UMB. Refer to the following image for applying the labels.

EC 350 installation
The following image illustrates the labels applied to the UMB, slides, and rivets.
Next steps
Verify if the digital index reading rotates in the proper direction. If not, perform the tasks described in the
following section, “ Changing the drive rotation ”, to position the bevel-gear thimble of EC 350 to ensure the
reading rotates in the proper direction.
Changing the drive rotation

The bevel-gear Thimble assembly or the Thimble gear assembly in the UMB permits either clockwise (CW) or
counterclockwise (CCW) rotation. Before installing EC 350, note whether the output shaft of the meter rotates
CW or CCW. You can change the driver rotation by positioning the Thimble gear assembly of EC 350 to match
the meter rotation.
To change the driver rotation to match the meter rotation

1. Remove the supplied Spline wrench from the front plate storage.
The following image illustrates the Spline wrench in the front plate storage.

Power Supply Options

The EC 350 has flexible power supply options. The unit can operate from an externally supplied DC power
source or from a 4-cell Alkaline, a 2-cell Lithium, or dual 2-cell Lithium Battery Packs.
External Power Supply

The input voltage range for using an externally supplied DC power source is +5.0 VDC to +15.0 VDC. The
Honeywell power 9 VDC pack p/n: 40-229 can be used as an external voltage source.
Connections for the external supply are made at the TB1 connector on the EC350 IO Board. Terminal-1
nearest the top of the IO Board is GND and Terminal-3 is the positive (+) input. When operating from an
externally supplied DC power source, a backup battery pack may also be installed with the intent of powering
the instrument if the case the external (remote) power is interrupted.
Installations requiring CLASS 1 - DIV 2 approval, the following Battery Packs are approved: 40-6048 (2-cell
Lithium), 40-6050 (4-cell Alkaline), and 40-6064 (4-cell Alkaline with 47 ohm Res). These Battery Packs can
be connected to the P5 Battery connector using cable p/n: 40-6045.

EC 350 installation
Installations requiring CLASS 1 - DIV 1 approval, only the Battery Pack 40-6064 is approved. Approval
Pending.
When operating from an externally supplied DC power source, configure the External Supply Low Alarm Limit
(Item 795) to be a value greater than 5.0 and generally less than 7.0 V. The default value of Item 795 is -1.0
to effectively disable the Alarm Item 796. The External Supply voltage is measured on a 10 minute interval.
Three consecutively low readings are required to the trip the Low Voltage Alarm (Item 796) – this is done to
help guard against falsely setting alarm due to a power supply glitch.
Battery Powered
Connections for the Battery pack are made at the P5 connector on the EC 350 IO Board. There are three
Battery choices for operating the EC 350 from battery power:
• 40-6050 (4-cell Alkaline) – 5 year operating life under specified conditions
• 40-6048 (2-cell Lithium)
• Dual set of 40-6048 (2-cell Lithium) – extended life or heavy usage / comms applications.
Use the Battery Type (Item 1061) to select the type of Battery pack that is being used to power the
instrument.
• 0= 4 Cell Alkaline (default type)
• 1= 2 Cell Lithium
• 2= 4 Cell Lithium (dual set of p/n 40-6048).
The Battery voltage is measured on a 10 minute interval. Three consecutively low readings are required to
the trip the Low Voltage Alarm (Item 99) – this is done to help guard against falsely setting alarm due to a
supply glitch.
Note: The Low Battery Voltage Alarm (Item 99) will not set if an External Supply voltage is present
at TB1 with a voltage level greater than the Battery voltage by over 1.0 VDC. When a Low Battery
Voltage Alarm is tripped (set), an Alarm Log record entry is generated along with updates to timestamp
Items 462 and 463.
Battery Life/ Usage Tracking

• Alkaline Battery– Item 48 tracks the Battery voltage and Item 49 is the configurable Low Limit for tripping a
low Battery Alarm condition. Item 50 is the configurable Low Limit for putting the EC 350 in to a low Battery
‘shutdown’ condition – ending most of its operations to greatly conserve the battery power.
• Lithium Battery– Items 1001 and 1002 indicate the remaining months and percentage of the Lithium Battery
pack based on estimated ‘usage cycles’. Item 59 tracks the battery usage cycles – but only for a limited
amount (mainly for testing purposes). Item 60 is the configurable Low Limit for tripping a low Battery Alarm
condition based on too high of battery usage cycles.
Item 59 value represents micro-Amp-seconds usage of the Battery.
Battery / External Supply Alarms – RBX Mode
• Non-RBX Mode (Item 165 = 0)– No automatic clearing of alarm condition. User must clear (acknowledge)
the alarm condition of Item 99 or 796 before a new Alarm Log entry or timestamp update can be made for
any subsequent Low Voltage Alarm conditions.
• RBX Mode (Item 165 = 1)- RBX Mode enabled will allow for automatic clearing of a Low Voltage alarm
condition of Item 99 or 796 if the measured voltage reaches a value greater than 0.60 VDC above the Low
Limit value in Item 49 or 795 respectively (Battery or External Voltage).
Replacing the Battery Pack

If your EC 350 displays REPLACEBATTERY, it indicates that EC 350 has gone into a power conservation
mode due to low battery voltage.

A special operating mode is provided to allow changing of a battery pack in a hazardous location. (If the
location is known to be non-hazardous, for example, if the location has been tested for the presence of gas
and it has been determined that gas is not present, this section can be skipped. Go to the Replacing the
battery in a non-hazardous environment section). The special operating mode puts the corrector in a standby

EC 350 installation
condition in which volume continues to be accumulated and event logging and alarms are still active, but all
other functions are stopped to ensure very low power drain. This allows a low power battery (40-6054) to be
plugged in while the main battery pack is changed, and then removed after the new battery is plugged in.
To replace the battery in a hazardous DIV-1/ZONE-0 environment, perform the following steps:
1. Enter HMI and set the EC 350 to Battery Change mode. You can use the L2.11 or L3.13 HMI menus.
2. The BATT CHNG message is displayed on the LCD screen. Press the Enter key.
3. Select Yes and press Enter. The unit is now ready for a battery change out. CHNG BATT THEN ESC
is dispalyed on the LCD screen.
4. Plug the special battery change battery (part no. 40-6054) into the open connector on the battery Y cable.
5. Unplug the old battery.
6. Plug in the fresh battery where the old battery was plugged in.
7. Remove the special battery change battery.
8. Press the ESCkey twice to exit the battery change mode. When the ESCkey is pressed, all the battery
life items are automatically set to 100% new values and the battery usage cycle is set to zero.
Replacing the battery in a non-hazardous environment

To replace the battery in a non-hazardous environment, perform the following steps:
1. Plug in the fresh battery into the open connector on the battery Y cable.
2. Unplug the old battery.
3. Reset Battery Life Items to defaults (100% new) by following steps shown below:
• Unlock the keypad and type the PASSCODE to enter level 2 or level 3 menus. Refer to the section
“Accessing level 2 mode ” for accessing level 2 mode or section “Access level 3 mode” for accessing

• Scroll down in to HMI menu to L2.12 or L3.12 where it displays: “RESET BATT” on LCD and then
press the Enter key.
• Press YES key to confirm (see note below).
• EC 350 resets the battery usage Items to factory default values: (Item 59 = 0, Item 1001 = 60 mo,
Item 1002 = 100%).
• Press ESC until you have exited the HMI.
Low battery/ External Power shutdown mode

EC 350 automatically enters a low battery shutdown mode when the battery voltage measurement falls below
the value of Item 50 (Battery Shutdown Limit) for three (3) consecutive times.
Note: Item 50 Shutdown Limit applies to both Battery Voltage and External Supply Voltages.
While in low power shutdown mode, the LCD displays the following (except if user enters HMI mode):
__________
“REPLACE”
“BATTERY”
Toexit Low Power Shutdown, the Battery voltage must be above the Item 50 limit value and the user must enter
HMI mode. User enters HMI and menus down arrow to the screen showing: SHUTDOWN - HMI menus: L2.10
or L3.12. Next, the User presses Enter key and display will show: ‘ENTER MODE’ as first selection. Arrow

General Wiring connections

This section describes the pulse outputs from EC 350.
• Three Form-A volume pulse outputs
• One Form-B alarm output
These outputs are electronic switches. The first three pulse outputs are configured as either corrected volume
or uncorrected volume. The fourth pulse output is used only for alarm output.
Note: Outputs are conventionally called “pulse outputs”, but it should be understood that they are
actually solid state (transistor) switches and do not produce any voltage. The external device to
which they are connected must provide wetting voltage with current limiting, and be able to respond
to the contact closures.

EC 350 installation
Pulse output communication

EC 350 provides four pulse outputs, three (channels A, B, and C) normally-open Form A type, and one (channel
D) normally closed Form B type. The pulse outputs are typically used for connection to an AMR (Automatic
Meter Reader) device.
These outputs are electronic switches that operate like an isolated bidirectional switch. Channels A, B, and
C (normally open type) can be configured as corrected volume or uncorrected volume. Channel C can
alternatively be configured as a (normally open) alarm output. Channel D (normally-closed type) is only for alarm
output use. All the pulse outputs of the EC 350, including the alarm pulse output, use opto-isolators for isolating
the EC 350 circuitry from the devices receiving the pulses. Opto-isolators are devices that prevent unwanted
current flow or possible damage from high voltage, from external devices connected to the instrument.
Alarm pulse outputs
An alarm pulse (on channel C or D) is generated when EC 350 enters an alarm condition. Use channel C (NO
or Normally Open) or channel D (NC or Normally Closed) depending on the AMR device accepting the alarm
pulse. Use of channel D (NC) allows for a cut wire to be interpreted as an alarm condition to the AMR device.
Volume pulse outputs
EC 350 provides three Form-A pulse outputs (channels A, B, and C) for volume output pulses.
Volume pulses can correspond to either uncorrected volume (as counted in item 2) or corrected volume (as
counted in item 0). The type of volume pulse (and whether the channel is enabled) is configured through items
93-95.
The "weight" of each pulse (e.g. whether a pulse corresponds to 10 cubic feet or 1 cubic meter) is configured
via items 1193-1195. (Note: in prior Mercury products the pulse weight was configured differently through items
93-95. These are now read-only values provided for reference.)
Pulse output timing is configurable via items 1014, 1015, and 1024. Various pulse ON and OFF times can be
chosen. Default is a pulse ON time of 62.5 milliseconds and a pulse OFF time of at least 62.5 milliseconds,
for a minimum pulse period of 125 milliseconds.

Pulse output specification

Following are the specifications for pulse output.
• All outputs are isolated from ground and each other.
• Outputs are rated for DC values from 0 to 30.0 volts, non-polarized.
• In Division 1 or Zones 1 & 2 hazardous locations, voltage rating is reduced to 22 volts maximum.
• Each circuit includes 950 ohms of current limiting resistance.
• At 30 volts, the ON current will be 30/950 = 31.5 mA. At 22 volts it will be 22/950 = 23 mA.

EC 350 installation
Pulse outputs via the case connector option

A 6 pin Amphenol case connector can be ordered to provide for the connection of two of the three pulse
outputs plus the alarm from outside the instrument. The connector as shown below is viewed from
outside the instrument. Pins A – F are labeled clockwise with pin A at the top. The table below shows the
connections. Note that since the outputs are non-polarized, wires can be connected in either polarity to each
output.

In modes 2 and 4 (Metrological Event Protection and Metrological Event Locked), changes to EVENT items
are blocked before overwriting the record that shows the item 139 write putting it into a protected mode. This
allows verification that you are seeing all of the changes since it was put into a protected mode. In mode 2
it assures that the item 139 change is uploaded, and it mode 4 it assures that the item 139 change is visible
in event log in the device.
Changing item 139

If item 139 is set to any value other than 0 (unrestricted) - it may not be changed unless the METROLOGICAL
ACCESS JUMPER is OFF.
Attention: Firmware can be upgraded if either the override jumper is off OR if item 139 is set to
unrestricted.
The METROLOGICAL ACCESS JUMPER is located in the lower right corner of the IO Board at the back of
the case (labeled “METR JMPR”). If a sealing plate is in place that must first be removed.

Securing the device
Using MasterLinkSQL to change item 139
1. Establish a serial communication between EC 350 and MasterLinkSQL (4.41 or above). Refer to the
MasterLinkSQL User’s Guide for information about establishing a serial connection between EC 350 and
MasterLinkSQL.
2. In the MasterLinkSQL window, click Find Item by Number icon.
The Find Item dialog box appears.

3. Type 139 and click OK.
4. The Site Information dialog box appears. The following image illustrates that the Access Restriction
is set to Metrological Protection .
5. Click Change.
The Change Item dialog box appears.
6. From the list, select Unrestricted and then click Save.
The Access Restriction is changed from Metrological Protection to Unrestricted.

Securing the device
7. Disconnect the serial communication between the MasterLinkSQL and EC 350.

8. Restore the METROLOGICAL ACCESS JUMPER.
Defining access privileges

Access to the EC 350 can be controlled by defining users and assigning them passcodes and privileges. Use
MasterLinkSQL (4.41 and above) to set up a User Table and to download it to the device.
Default User Table

User Enabled Passcode Privileges
0 Yes 33333 All, HMI L3
4-99 No
Event log records reference this user ID, to identify who made configuration changes.
Full use of multi-user features requires host software supporting the SS protocol command. For backwards
compatibility with host software that only supports the older SN sign on command (which does not support
multiple users), the user 0 passcode is required for sign on via the SN command. In that case all configuration
changes made through an SN sign on are attributed to user 0 in the event log records. The legacy item 196
(event log user ID) is not supported.
The screenshot below shows a typical User Table.
Valid user IDs are 0 through 99 (decimal numeric). Valid passcodes are 0 through 99999 (decimal numeric).
The following privileges can be granted or denied users:
• MODIFY OPEN ITEMS
• MODIFY EVENT ITEMS
• MODIFY SEALED ITEMS
• READ EVENT LOG
• USER TABLE DOWNLOAD
• HMI LEVEL 2 ACCESS
• HMI LEVEL 3 ACCESS
OPEN, EVENT, and SEALED are three classifications of items (the other classification is READONLY, which
cannot be modified with any privilege).

Securing the device
A user granted level 3 HMI access will enter level 3 HMI menus after entering their user ID and password into
the HMI (regardless of whether they are granted level 2 access). To allow a user to enter level 2, they must not
be granted level 3 access. A single user can either have level 2 HMI access or level 3 HMI access or neither,
but may not access both level 2 and 3.
Creating a user table file

To create a user table file:
2. In the MasterLinkSQL window, click Instrument > Edit User Table.
3. In the User Table dialog box, click New.

4. Enter User ID and Password and select the privileges to want to grant to the user under Privileges.

Securing the device
5. Click Apply to save the privileges for the newly created user.
6. Click Save.
The Save User Table File As dialog box appears.
7. Enter a filename and click OK.
The Choose Password dialog box appears.
8. Enter a password and click OK. This password is required when you want to send the user table file.
Sending a user table file

To send a user table file:
2. In the MasterLinkSQL window, click Transfer > Send User Table.
The EC 350 ships in unsecure mode with default passwords. Change the default passcodes at least to
secure the device.
Note that, for convenient device access by users choosing not to secure their devices, MasterLinkSQL
will attempt to access user 0 with the default passcode and will only prompt the user if that fails.

Securing the device
Metrological configuration mode

A special operational mode is available which may be useful when making configuration changes to an
instrument already in service. Most changes would not require this, but if multiple changes are being made and
there could be dependencies between those changes (in particular if the instrument would measure incorrectly
if it received a volume pulse from the meter while the changes are still in progress – only partially completed).
The mode is called Metrological Configuration Mode. In this mode, input volume pulses are queued but not
processed, and Pressure and Temperature measurements are deferred. Processing continues normally after
you exit the mode, with the queued input volume pulses handled per the new configuration.
You enter and exit the mode either through the HMI (L2.9 and L3.11 MET CONFIG), or through MasterLink by
setting/clearing item 1239. Note that the mode will also be exited automatically on an exit from HMI mode (either
explicitly or by inactivity time-out) and likewise on a serial comm (MasterLink) disconnect from the instrument
(either explicit or by inactivity time-out). (Note that it will exit the mode on either HMI or Serial exit, regardless
of which was used to activate the mode.)
Validating setup configuration

After installing EC 350 on the meter and updating its configuration settings, ensure to perform the following
final checkout tasks:
• Verify the pulse input. Refer to the section “Testing the pulse input”.
• Verify corrected and uncorrected volume. Refer to the section “Selecting the unit of measure”.
• Verify pressure/temperature factors. Refer to the section “Verifying pressure” or "Verifying temperature".

Key features
Volume measurement
EC 350 generally operates in the Corrector mode. In this mode, EC 350 receives and processes uncorrected
volume, pressure, and temperature inputs to produce corrected volume information. While in Corrector mode,
totalized corrected volume information is continuously displayed on the display. EC 350 always returns to
Corrector mode after completing operations in any other mode. To enter the Corrector mode, from any other
mode, press the ESC key several times until the Corrector mode display appears. From every other mode, the
instrument returns to Corrector mode if no key is pressed for 1 to 10 minutes depending on the mode.
The following image illustrates a typical Corrector mode display.
• Line 1 on the display indicates the totalized corrected volume value.

• Line 2 indicates the corrected volume unit of measure.
• Line 3 indicates the item name. In the image, this is CORVOL , which is corrected volume.
• Line 4 indicates the icons that are active.
Rotary volume scaling

The gas flowing through rotary meter is measured by multiplying the input signals supplied by the two redundant
volume sensors with the appropriate scaling factor (in item 114) for a particular rotary meter (selected in item
432). Generally, 114 value is set automatically when the meter model is selected, but 114 can also be set
manually for other meters models.
Currently, EC 350 supports over 140 meter models explicitly. Others can be supported with manual
configuration.
Corrected volume
EC 350 accurately measures and maintains the total uncorrected volume passing through the meter on which
it is installed. In addition to the uncorrected volume, EC 350 also computes the corrected volume.
The corrected volume is computed by multiplying a total correction factor by the uncorrected volume input from
the meter.
EC 350 maintains items called Hi-Res (High Resolution) volumes for indicating a fractional part of the corrected
and uncorrected volumes that are not visible in the primary items (0 and 2).
Refer to the section “Items reference” for information about Corrected volume (item 000) and its corresponding
High resolution corrected volume (item 113) and Uncorrected volume (item 002) and its High resolution
uncorrected volume (item 892).
Total Correction Factor = Temperature Factor X Pressure Factor X Auxiliary Factor (normally 1.0) X Squared
Supercompressibility Factor.
Refer to the section “Items reference” for information about Total Correction Factor (item 043), Temperature
Correction Factor (item 045), Pressure Factor (item 044), Auxiliary Factor (item 046), and Squared
Supercompressibility Factor (item 116).
EC 350 supports a large range of units for measuring volume; some of them are as follows:

Key features
CF, CFx10, CFx100, CCF, CFx1000, MCF, CFx10000, m3x0.1, m3, m3x10, m3x100, and m3x1000.
You can independently configure corrected and uncorrected volume items.
Refer to the section “Items reference” for information about Corrected volume units (item 090) and Uncorrected
volume units (item 092) .
Energy
In addition to the corrected and uncorrected volume, EC 350 also calculates the energy (in item 140)
corresponding to the corrected volume, based on a fixed user-configurable conversion factor (item 142).
EC 350 supports a large range of units for measuring energy; some of them are as follows: Therms,
Decatherms, Mega Joules, Giga Joules, Kilo Calories, and Kilo Watts.
Refer to the section “Items reference” for information about Energy (item 140), Energy units (item 141), and
Gas energy value (item 142) .
High resolution
For direct-mount rotary configurations (not UMB), EC 350 supports an option called high resolution mode for
obtaining a higher degree of gas volume measurement resolution. Use the Inputvolume mode (item 433) for
selecting the high resolution mode option.
In high resolution mode, EC 350 measures the gas volume using a very low divider ratio for the input signals
supplied by the two volume input sensors. Generally, the divider ratio is much higher for making a sensible
trade-off between the measurement resolution and the instrument battery life.
The high resolution mode consumes more battery power while achieving a greater degree of volume
measurement resolution. You can use this mode as a test and verification tool for obtaining accurate volume
measurement within a shorter period of time (less gas passing through the meter).
Refer to the section “Items reference” for information about Input volume mode (item 433) .
Attention: Field applications do not use the high resolution mode for day-to-day volume
measurement, as the gain in volume resolution is not worth the inherent battery life drain.
Volume statistics
The EC 350 supports various gas volume statistical items. Following are the supported gas volume statistical
items.
• Daily Cor - Vol (item 223)
• Previous Day Cor - Vol (item 183)
• Daily Unc- Vol (item 224)
• Previous Day Unc- Vol (item 184)
• Max Day Cor - Vol (item 253)
• Max Day Cor - Vol Date (item 254)
Refer to the section “Items reference” for information about the gas volume statistical Items.
Temperature readings
EC 350 reads the gas temperature probe on a time-based approach, as opposed to reading temperature only
when it receives volume input.
Regardless of flow rate, the temperature of the gas is read, and the correction factors are computed, every 30
seconds. Hence, high and low temperature alarms are detected even under low and no-flow conditions.
While measuring a temperature, EC 350 samples the Gas temperature probe a large number of times
to produce a very accurate final reading. With each gas temperature measurement, both the temperature
correction and the total correction factors are updated to reflect the new reading.
Refer to the section “Items reference” for information about the following temperature items.
• Gas temperature (item 026)
• Gas temperature units (item 089)

Key features
• Temperature correction factor (item 045)

• Base temperature (item 034)
• Temperature low alarm (item 144)
• Temperature low alarm limit (item 027)
• Temperature high alarm (item 146)
• Temperature high alarm limit (item 028)
Temperature statistics
EC 350 supports various gas temperature statistical items. Following are the supported gas temperature
statistical items:
• Interval high gas temperature (item 216)
• Interval low gas temperature (item 216)
• Daily average gas temperature (item 257)
• Previous day gas temperature (item 186)
• Max gas temperature (item 293)
• Max gas temperature date/time (item 294/295)
• Min gas temperature (item 297)
• Min gas temperature date/time (item 298/299)
Refer to the section “Items reference” for information about the gas temperature statistical items.
Pressure statistics
EC 350 supports various pressure statistical items. Following are the supported pressure statistical items:
• P2 Interval avgerage pressure (item 421)
• P2 Interval high pressure (item 422)
• P2 Interval low pressure (item 423)
• P2 Daily average pressure (item 424)
• P2 Previous daily average pressure (item 425)

• P2 Min pressure date (item 431)
• P1 Max pressure (item 285)
• P1 Max pressure date (item 287)
• P1 Max pressure time (item 286)
• P1 Min pressure (item 289)
• P1 Min pressure date (item 291)
• P1 Min pressure time (item 290)
• Prev day average P1 pressure (item 185)
• P1 Interval average pressure (item 206)
• P1 Interval high pressure (item 214)
• P1 Interval low pressure (item 215)
• P1 Daily average pressure (item 256)
Refer to the section “Items reference” for information about the gas temperature statistical items.
Fixed temperature
The EC 350 can be configured to function as a fixed temperature device by setting item 111 to fixed temperature.
In that mode, the temperature value configured in item 1162–Fixed temperature value (instead of the live
temperature at item 26) is used for temperature correction.

Key features
Pressure measurement
The pressure of the gas is read, and the correction factors are computed, every 30 seconds, regardless of flow
rate. Hence high and low pressure alarms are detected even under low and no-flow conditions.
When measuring gas pressure, the EC 350 uses an ultra-high-resolution analog-to-digital converter system
along with advanced characterization/linearization techniques, including temperature compensation, to
produce a very accurate final reading. The EC 350 Plug and Play Pressure Transducer stores unique
characterization information within each transducer, which is transferred automatically if the pressure
transducer is changed.
Fixed pressure
The EC 350 can be configured to function as a fixed pressure device by setting item 109 to fixed pressure.
In this mode, the pressure value configured in item 1161–Fixed pressure value (instead of the live pressure
at item 8) is used for pressure correction.
Meter proving
The public utility commissions or various governmental regulations may require you to check the accuracy of
the actual volume of gas flowing through a gas meter. Prover devices such as the Dresser Model 5 Prover
and the Elster/American Meter SNAP Sonic Nozzle Prover are used for verifying the accuracy of the volume
of gas flowing through a gas meter. Prover devices pass a known volume and temperature of gas through
the meter being tested. They compare their own standard volume to the volume reported by EC 350, which is
mechanically connected to the rotary gas meter.
EC 350 uses switch closure pulse counts for providing volume data to the Prover device. The meter bodies
and EC 350 are tested at various rates such as 10%, 50%, and 100% of rated capacity. You can connect EC
350 to a prover to test both uncorrected and temperature corrected volumes.
EC 350 has a special operating mode that makes meter proving process very easy and fast. This mode is called
Pushbutton Proving . No special configuration settings are required to use the Pushbutton Proving feature of
EC 350.
Connecting the USB cable to the prover dongle

The following image illustrates a proving kit.
The proving kit includes the following components for connecting the EC 350 to a Dresser Model 5 Prover:
• EC 350 prover dongle
• Cable assembly (USB and Model 5 connectors)
• Magnetic coupler

Key features
Cable adapter for the SNAP prover system
The cable adapter assembly is used with an Elster/American Meter SNAP prover system. This cable adapter
is included in the 40-4913-1 prover kit along with all of the components in the 40-4913 base prover kit. The
following image illustrates the cable adapter for the SNAP prover system.
Proving dongle indicators
Proving dongle
The infrared prover dongle is a device that can be connected to the IrDA data port on EC 350. It receives
IR LED pulses from EC 350 and converts the appropriate pulses into electronic switch contacts. This allows
a rotary meter with the EC 350 to be tested as a unit without breaking the meter seal. The following image
illustrates an IR proving dongle.
Prover dongle indicators
The following image illustrates a prover dongle indicators.
• PULSE: A red light appears to indicate that the electronic switch to the Model-5 prover is closed.
• LINKED: A green light appears to indicate that EC 350 and the prover dongle are synchronized. This must
be ON when you are in the Pushbutton Proving mode.
• CPU OK: A yellow light appears to indicate that the prover dongle is powered and is operational. Ensure
that the yellow light is always ON during operation. If the light goes off, it indicates that the prover dongle
does not receive the 5V power supplied by the computer.
Starting Pushbutton proving

The basic operation of the Pushbutton Proving mode is as follows:
1. The prover dongle receives uncorrected or temperature corrected volume in the form of infrared light
pulses from EC 350.
2. The prover dongle converts the received infrared light pulses to electronic switch closure pulses that can
be handled directly by the supplied prover.
3. These electronic switch closure pulses are sent to the prover. Each electronic switch closure pulses
represents either one (1), ten (10), or one hundred (100) cubic feet of gas volume, depending upon the
model of the rotary meter.
4. When EC 350 is in Meter Proving mode, the volume pulse inputs from the meter are read at a much
higher resolution than what is normally processed. This allows the most rapid proving cycle time for a
given accuracy. Most proving runs can be accomplished within 60 seconds.

Key features
Attention: When EC 350 is in Pushbutton Proving mode, the IrDA Serial communications
are disabled. Before you enter the Pushbutton Proving mode, ensure that the prover
dongle is connected to EC 350.

Supercompressibility Factor
Gases actually behave in a manner slightly different from what the ideal gas laws indicate. This deviation
depends on the molecular composition of the gas and the specific gravity as well as the pressure and
temperature. Natural gas, for instance, compresses by a greater amount than that computed by Boyle’s law and
hence the term “supercompressibility” is used for this deviation. It is small at very low pressure, but becomes

Key features
substantial as the pressure increases. The EC 350 automatically applies the supercompressibility factor and
therefore the equation for total volume correction that EC 350 applies to metered volume is expressed as:
Vb = Vm * Fp * Ft * (Fpv)²
Where:
• Vb = gas volume corrected to base conditions
• Vm = measured volume from meter
• Fp = pressure factor
• Ft = temperature factor
• Fpv = supercompressibility factor determined from NX-19 or AGA-8
The EC 350 can calculate the supercompressibility factor according to the following standards:
• AGA-8
• Gross method 1
• Gross method 2
• Detail method
• NX-19

Alarms
EC 350 monitors a list of parameters and compares their measured values to configurable limits to determine
if a fault condition has occurred. When any of these measured parameters has exceeded their respective limit,
EC 350 will create an Alarm.
EC 350 currently supports monitoring eight (8) parameters and supplies an Alarm Item for each. Shown below
are the eight Alarm Items.

Report By Exception (RBX)
RBX (Report By Exception) is an alarm mode that is enabled via item 165. RBX controls the behavior of the
following alarms.
• Pressure 1 High
• Pressure 1 Low
• Temperature High
• Temperature Low
• Pressure 2 High
• Pressure 2 Low
• Flow Rate High
When enabled, the RBX function automatically clears an instrument alarm after an alarm parameter has
returned to its normal operating range, buffered by a user specified deadband (hysteresis). The deadband
values are specified in items 166 (Pressure 1), 167 (Temperature), 169 (Flow Rate), and 459 (Pressure 2).
When disabled, the alarms remain in their current state until the user manually clears it.
Logging
Audit Trail Logging Configuration

Using MasterLink software, an EC 350 device can be configured to contain as many as 5 independent logs,
each with its own collection of item values and collection (sample) frequency. Each log can be configured to
collect values for up to 20 items.
To configure logs:
1. Ensure that MasterLink is linked to the EC 350.

Key features
2. In Masterlink, select Instrument, Logging Configuration and then EC 350.
3. Drag and drop the desired items from the Select Items list over to the log configuration tree.
In order to remove an item from the log configuration tree, highlight it and press the ‘Delete’ key.
4. The order of the items in the Log Configuration list determines the order in which the values are stored
and thus the order in which they will later appear in a report. Items in the list can be ‘grabbed’ and moved
up and down to change the order.
5. You can save a configuration for future reference to a configuration file (*.cnfg) with the Save setup to
file button. It can later be retrieved with the Read setup form file button. Only *.cnfg files can be read;
item files (*.ie3) are not compatible.

Key features
6. You can right click on the time interval displayed in the Log Configuration tree, to configure the period
at which log records are recorded.
7. In the Allocate log memory tab, configure the percentage of available memory allocated to each log.
For each log, you can select the percentage of memory allocated, if fewer than 5 logs are desired the
percent of the unused ones must be set to zero.
Note: The sum total of memory allocated for all logs must be equal to 100%.
The smaller a log’s allocation, the less data it will be able to store. When the limit is reached, the oldest
records will be overwritten with the newer ones. The consequence of a particular allocation setting is
reflected in the number of Days worth of data as well as the Number of records that can be written before
overwriting will occur. Note: A log’s interval setting will impact Days, but not Numbers.

Key features
8. The Enable checkboxes may be used to suspend data collection for one or more logs. A log’s existing
records will not be affected when the log is disabled. The fact that a log is disabled will be reflected in the
Log Configuration window by the presence of a red ‘x’ at the top of that log’s item tree. In addition, the
area for that log in the bar graphic will be grayed and marked as ‘Disabled’
9. Finally, click Send to Instrument to push the log configuration to the EC 350 Device. A few seconds will
be required for the transfer. A window should appear indicating ‘Successfully Configured’.
Reading Audit Trail from the EC 350

Once audit trail logging is configured and some amount of data has been collected, it may be transferred to
the host. The process can be initiated from the Transfer menu or icon using the Read Audit Trail Data
window.
You must specify the number of logs to read and the amount of data to transfer. All configured and enabled
logs can be checked in the Log Selection frame. If a log is not configured it cannot be checked. The amount
of data is specified by date/time ranges. The simplest option is Since Last Download. The host will examine
its database for the most recent record for each log for this instrument and construct a command to the EC 350
for all data it has collected since then. Using this option each time will ensure that the host database contains
a complete set of audit trail records for each log in each instrument. There are three other options if a specific
data range of data is desired.
Note: Reading of audit trail records does not remove them from EC 350’s memory. They can be
read any number of times until they are overwritten, as explained above.
Once Masterlink finishes reading all data for all logs the user is given the chance to view all the downloaded
records. This is a useful practice to ensure that the transfer succeeded and that all the expected records were
read.
Displaying/Viewing Audit Trail reports

Note: This operation only involves the host computer and its database. No connection to an EC
350 is necessary.
1. In the MasterLinkSQL window, click Reports and select one of the following options:
• Audit Trail Report (With Summary)
• Audit Trail Report (Without Summary)
• Audit Trail Report (Summary Only)
• Audit Trail Report (Daily Summary)
• Audit Trail Report (Monthly Summary)

Key features
Based on the option selected, a corresponding dialog appears allowing the user to specify the Audit Trail
data to view.
2. Click the Select Sites button to browse to the desired EC 350 unit by SITE ID/ Site name.
3. Click on the Date Range tab to bring up a control window to select date range display options for the
log report.
4. Click Preview to view the Audit Trail report, or click the Print to send the report to a specified printer.
Event logger
The function of the Event Logger is to record configuration changes and significant system events. Each record
includes:
• Date
• Time
• User ID
• Sequence Number (starts at 1, wraps from 65535 to 0)
• Before and After for changes made to instrument parameters.
Event Log capacity is 1024 records

To clear the event log:
Write a value of 19230429 to item 264 using Setup > Advanced>Raw Instrument Access >Raw Item Access
in MastgerLinkSQL.
Log record integrity verification

Audit Trail and Event Log records have a CRC value associated with them to allow verification that they have not
been corrupted or modified. CRCs of log records that have been uploaded to a computer using MasterLinkSQL
can be compared to log record CRCs displayed on the HMI. Since records cannot be modified in the device,
the CRC values shown through the HMI are always correct and so if the CRC values shown in MasterLinkSQL
do not match, then the log record on the computer may have been corrupted or otherwise modified.

Key features
First view the log records uploaded with MasterLinkSQL. Audit Trail record CRCs can be viewed through the
Audit Trail CSD Conversion feature in the File menu. That outputs a Comma Separated Value file that includes
the record CRC as transmitted by the device and also as computed by MasterLinkSQL of the record as stored
in the MasterLinkSQL database. Event Log record CRCs can be viewed through the Event Log Report. In the
report configuration, select the option to view the CRC values.
To view records in the HMI, select the corresponding menu item, select the desired log (Audit Trail 1 through 5,
or Event Log), enter a Sequence Number for a record (as seen in MasterLinkSQL). The corresponding record
will be shown with the sequence number, the CRC value (in decimal), and the date and time of the record.
(Other record values cannot be displayed via the HMI.
Compare the CRC value on the device display with the one in the Audit Trail CSD file or the Event Log report.
The UP and DOWN arrow keys can be used to show the previous or next record.
Display ON/OFF
The EC 350 display can be configured to turn on and off at specific times during the day.
You can configure this in the MasterLink software using the following itemcodes:

• Level 0 mode- It is the scroll list mode where the customer-configured list of items appear on the display.
No passkey is required to access this mode. After the keypad is active, use the UP arrow and DOWN arrow
to scroll through the items in this mode. The items in this mode are read-only.
• Level 1 read only mode- It is used for viewing the instrument settings and live parameters. You do not
require any passkey to access this mode. In this mode, the instrument functions are categorized into
11 submenus. By scrolling through the 11 submenus, you can view over 60 factory-defined instrument
parameters. The items in this mode are read-only.
• Level 2 mode- It is used for accessing the less sensitive parameters and configuration options of EC 350.
This mode provides six submenus. You can view and configure the items in this mode by scrolling through
the six submenus. A passkey is required to access this mode.
• Level 3 mode- It is used for accessing all the parameters, configuration, and functions of EC 350. This
mode provides nine submenus. A passkey is required to access this mode.
Level 0 mode
The level 0 mode is also known as the Scroll List Mode (or Meter Reader Mode). The following table lists the
factory-default items that appear on the display when you enter the level 0 mode (in the order in which they
appear as you press the DOWN arrow). This list is configurable. The Configurable item column identifies the

User access
3. To access the passkey screen, in level 2 mode press OK. The following appears on the display.
0000000
PASSCODE
For firmware versions before 1.0068, you must enter a five digit security code followed by a two digit user
ID code to enter level 2 mode. The default value for the level 2 passcode is 20000. The default value of the
last two digit user ID is 00. You can enter any value for the event log user ID. If the unit is configured to log
events in an event log, the user ID identifies the user who made the changes in the event log.
For firmware version 1.0068 and later, of the 7 digits entered, the first two are the user id and the last five
are the passcode. By default only user 02 is permitted access to Level 2. The default passcode is 20000, so
the value entered would be 0220000. Other users can be granted access to level 2 menus, but a user can
only access level 2 if they are not granted access to level 3. (A single user can access level 2, level 3, or
neither, but cannot access both level 2 and level 3. Level 2 functionality is a subset of level 3 functionality.)
4. To enter passcode, press the UP arrow or the DOWN arrow at the current position to change the displayed
digit to the required numeral.
5. For example, press the UP arrow twice at the current position, the value 0000000 changes to 2000000.
6. Press the RIGHT arrow to move one position to the right. Using the UP arrow or the DOWN arrow change
the displayed digit to the required numeral.
7. For example, press the RIGHT arrow until you reach the sixth digit. At the sixth digit press the UP arrow
twice. The value 2000000 changes to 2000020.
8. Repeat this step until you enter the passcode of the instrument.
9. To accept changes after entering the last digit (all seven digits of passcode), press the RIGHT arrow.
Attention: You can also press OK for entering the passkey value.
The OK key enters the displayed digit at the current position and advances to the next position.
If the log in was successful, the display indicates that you are in level 2 mode. If the user ID or
passcode were invalid, you will be returned to the main level 1 menu.
10.Use the UP arrow and DOWN arrow to scroll through the main menu items (L2.2 through L2.7) in level
2 mode.
11.Press OK to select the necessary main menu item.
12.Use the UP arrow and DOWN arrow to scroll through the submenu items in level 2 mode.

Connecting to EC 350 via MasterLinkSQL
About MasterLinkSQL software

MasterLinkSQL is a communication software package that enables interaction with EC 350. Using
MasterLinkSQL you can:
• Configure EC 350 to meet particular needs.
• Calibrate EC 350.
• Read the collected data such as volumes, pressures, temperature, and alarms.
• Generate reports for the collected data.
• Provide computer to instrument communication. Computer to instrument communication can be through the
IrDA (infrared) port on the front panel, an optional direct serial link (RS-232/485), modem (CNI2 for cellular
or Messenger for land line).
Connecting the IrDA communication USB dongle to the computer

To connect the IrDA communication USB dongle to the computer, insert the IrDA USB dongle in the USB port
of the computer.
If the IrDA USB dongle is connected properly, a small LED on the dongle flashes intermittently, which indicates
that the computer can communicate with the IrDA USB dongle. Using the MasterLinkSQL communications
configuration menu, confirm that the IrDA interface has been configured properly.
Connecting the IrDA communication USB dongle to EC 350

To connect the IrDA communication USB dongle to EC 350
1. Insert the dongle into the magnetic pipe boot. Ensure that the cable passes through the hook provided in
the magnetic pipe boot to prevent the dongle from displacing.
2. Place the boot on EC 350. Ensure that the leg of the boot is above the eyebrow.
The following image illustrates the IrDA communication USB dongle connected to EC 350.

User access
Signing on to the EC 350

Open MasterLinkSQL and fill in any fields in the opening screen. You can connect to a specific site through the
Site List (this is required for remote connections through a modem), or, for local connections you can simply
request some operation and MasterLinkSQL will initiate the connection automatically.
If requested, enter a user ID and passcode. Your organization should provide you with this information. User
ID can be any value from 0 to 99. By default only users 0 through 3 are activated. Passcode can be any value
0 to 99999. Given below are the default passcodes for users 0 to 3
User Default passcode

User 0 and 1 33333
User 2 20000
User 3 30000
Default users 2 and 3 are primarily intended for HMI access (levels 2 and 3 respectively) but serial access with
MasterLinkSQL through those users is also possible with those passcodes.
Updating EC 350 firmware

EC 350 is provided with a built-in firmware loader that allows new versions of firmware to be installed easily.
Firmware can be upgraded using the Firmware Upgrader option available in the MasterLinkSQL software.
When you select this option, the MasterLinkSQL software works with the built-in loader of EC 350 and provides
a very robust system for upgrading the EC 350 firmware.
The firmware upgrade is performed through the IrDA serial interface that is used by the MasterLinkSQL
software. The IrDA serial interface provides an electrically isolated interface and requires no additional
hardware or software beyond what is already needed to utilize the MasterLinkSQL software. (Firmware
upgrades can also be performed over the RS-232 port but not the RS-485 port.)
Caution: It is important that you read all items and logs (audit trail logs, event log, alarm log) before
performing a firmware upgrade because most items will be set to default values and the audit trail
logs will be erased.

Chapter

Remote Communications
Topics: This chapter describes the different communication mechanisms
featured in a EC 350 device.
• Use of RS232/ 485
• Call in and call out
• Modbus Host Communication
Use of RS232/ 485

Application
EC 350 is capable of communicating with a number of types of external devices, such as cellular or landline
modems, and RTUs. External devices must communicate using MI Protocol or Modbus. The description of
those protocols is beyond the scope of this manual, although a basic discussion of Modbus – to - Host operation
is presented later in this section. This section describes the physical connections and instrument configuration
parameters that are required.
Connections
Wiring connections are made to TB4, see below:
For both RS232 and RS484 TXD (Transmit Data), RXD (Receive Data) and GND (Ground) are required in all
cases. In some applications TXD of the EC 350 may connect to RXD of the external device; other times they
may be crossed. Also, RTS (Request To Send) and CTS (Clear To Send) may or not be used and may or may
not be crossed. Consult the documentation of the external device for these details.
The RS232 and RS485 standard specifications should be consulted for the proper wire type, maximum cable
length, etc.
Jumpers
In addition to wiring, jumpers on JP1 and JP2 must be properly positioned. For RS232, both jumpers must be
set to B and C as shown in the following diagram. They must be placed on A and B for RS485.

Configuration Parameters
Several EC 350 items must be set to accommodate a particular external device. Modbus configuration items
are found in the ‘Modbus Protocol’ function group of MasterLink:
If the external device communicates via Modbus protocol, item 985 must be set to 1. Item 994 will need to
be set to the proper Modbus variation, either RTU or ASCII. The correct setting for all of these items will be
determined by the external device used.
Others items, specifically 272, 995 and 1220, are found in the ‘Communications’ group:
Items 170 and 172 are primarily associated with the behavior of MI Protocol. These should normally left as
default (shown here). The remainder will vary depending on the external devices.

Call in and call out

Call in
EC 350 has the capability to initiate a modem to modem telephone call. This is called call in and can happen
under two circumstances.
• Alarm Call-In
• Scheduled Call-In.
Call in
When connected to either a cellular or landline modem the EC 350 can be configured to autonomously dial and
connect to a host computer. It can do this according to a preset schedule or in the event of an alarm condition.
Previous Mercury Instruments products have incorporated similar features, but the EC 350 is unique in its
support of four phone numbers (or IP addresses); two for scheduled calls and two for alarms. This provides
the ability to communicate with four different hosts. In turn, this feature leads to some differences in the retry
algorithm. Call in configuration items are:
Modem items are shared between the scheduled and alarm call in features. If the modem requires an
initialization string it must be set into item 491 along with an Init Delay (Item 821). The initialization delay is
applied so that the modem, having just been powered up, has a chance to stabilize before being sent the
initialization string. A dial prefix must be configured in item 492 and a hangup string in 494. The Dialing Delay will
take place following the issuance of the initialization string. Call in sequence, Trigger Type and retry parameters
are also shared between scheduled and alarm calls. Those will be discussed later.
Scheduled Call In
The EC 350 can initiate a call at a preset time. The time may have been manually specified, but on an ongoing
basis the host(s) is responsible for the schedule. At the end of each call the host is must set item values that
determine when the next call is to take place. That time will always be contained in items 334 and 335. Items
338 and 337 indicate the result of the latest call ( or call attempt ). If only one host exists, its phone number
is set in item 339. If a second host exists, its number is set in item 1030. To enable scheduled call in, at
least phone number must be configured and item 333 must be set to either Alarm and Scheduled Call In or
Scheduled Call In Only.
Alarm Call In
If alarm call in is configured and enabled, a call will be initiated whenever a new alarm occurs or, if in RBX
mode, an alarm condition clears. This requires a phone number in item 493 ( and optionally in 785 ) and item
333 must be set to either Alarm and Scheduled Call In or Alarm Call In Only.

Management of Multiple Phone Numbers

If multiple phone numbers are configured, item 1230 determines ( along with the retry strategy ) when and if
the second number is called. The setting will affect the behavior of scheduled and alarm calls identically.
Call In Sequence = BOTH:

When a call is triggered, the EC 350 will dial the first number first. Regardless of whether that call succeeds
or fails, the second number will also be called. The BOTH algorithm ensures that both hosts will (eventually)
receive notification. If a call to a host fails, it will be retried as many times as necessary until the call
succeeds. The two numbers are independent – whatever happens on phone number 1 will not affect phone
number 2 and vice-versa.
Call In Sequence = PRIORITY:
This algorithm ensures that someone will (eventually) receive notification, and it will be whoever succeeds
first. As soon as either one succeeds the process is complete. Some possible sequences are:
1 S. Done.
1 F, 2 S. Done.
1 F, 2 F, 1 S. Done.
1 F, 2 F, 1 F, 2 S. Done.
(where 1 and 2 represent the first and second phone numbers, S denotes success, F denotes failure )
Retry Timing
Not all call failures are resolved with ‘retries’. ‘Retries’ is defined as the termination of the current attempt and
the scheduling of another attempt some minutes or hours hence. In some cases the EC 350 may try to resolve
the failure immediately. If, for instance, an initialization string is sent to the modem but no positive response
is received within several seconds, it will simply send it again. If several initialization attempts fail, then it will
be deemed hopeless (for now) and a future retry will be scheduled. The same is true if a dial string goes
unanswered. But after a certain point another immediate attempt would be futile and a future retry is scheduled.
There are three retry timing parameters – two delays ( A and B ) and a counter. For any given trigger (schedule
or alarm ) the first retry will be scheduled to take place Retry A minutes in the future. Retry A will be used
for subsequent retries until Modem Retry A count is exhausted. The next ( and subsequent ) failures will be
scheduled at intervals of Retry B minutes. Once the call finally succeeds ( or another trigger occurs ) the
counter, and thus the retry sequence, will be reset.
LCD indications
When a call is triggered, the information on the 2nd and 3rd lines of the LCD will be replaced with
messages indicating the progression of the call, such as ‘INIT MODEM’, ‘DIALING ●’, ‘DIAL FAILED’,
‘CONNECTED’, ‘WAIT FOR CONN RESPONSE’, ‘CONNECTED’, ‘WAITING +-+CLRALMS’, and ‘HOST
SYSTEM CONNECTED’.
Forcing a Test Call

During initial commissioning as well as subsequent troubleshooting, it is useful to be able to manually evoke a
call. This can be done by writing the proper value to item 264: 20139796 will trigger a scheduled call; 20139813
will force an alarm call. The same can be done using the HMI. See the HMI section for details.
Call out
The Call Out window (COW) allows EC 350 to accept remote communications during one or two blocks of
time during the day.
When used with a CNI2 cellular modem, the CNI2 will be set to “server mode” during the call out window(s) so
it can accept calls from a host system during those times. The CNI2 consumes more power in server mode,
regardless of whether communication occurs.
EC 350 can also be kept “awake” during the call out window(s) such that even the initial characters of
a communication session are accepted. Otherwise, the initial characters “wake up” the EC 350. The MI
Protocol includes such wake up characters in its protocol so that this feature is not required for MI Protocol

communication. But the Modbus protocol includes no wake-up characters, so this feature can be used so that
the EC 350 processes the first Modbus packet. Without it, the first packet is not processed and the Modbus host
system must send a “retry” packet. More power is consumed during the call out window in this mode, regardless
of whether communication occurs or not. To use this mode, in addition to specifying a call out window, set
item 1236 (Port Active During COW) to enabled. This mode consumes more battery power but reduces retries
on Modbus activity.
There are items for specifying the start and stop times for two call out windows. Set the start and stop times
equal to disable a call out window. (Do so for both if they have no call out window.) Times are specified in 24-
hour format. The maximum value is “23 59 00”. Seconds other than “00” are ignored. The resolution for the
times is one minute. No single call out window can be longer than 18 hours, but greater than 18 hours can be
achieved by scheduling two call out windows “back to back” (e.g. 00 00 00 - 12 00 00, 12 00 00 - 23 59 00
would effectively give you a call out window for the entire day except one minute before midnight).
The modem will stay active until a stop time is reached or when the current call (if after the stop time) has
ended. EC 350 goes back to sleep if there is no call out.

Modbus Host Communication

The Modbus protocol has been integrated as a communication task into EC 350 operating system. Currently
the Modbus protocol supports function code 01, 02, 03, 04, 05, 06, 15 and 16 in both RTU and ASCII mode.
EC 350 uses the Modbus protocol to establish master-slave (client-server) communication between EC 350
and a computer. Modbus is de-facto open standard and the most widely used network protocol in the industrial
manufacturing environment.
The Modbus protocol defines the format of the data and the techniques used to control the flow of data. Modbus
communication can take place on virtually any communication network: RS-232, RS-485, Ethernet.
Modbus communication can be established between 2 devices as well as 248 devices, also a single master
and up to 247 slaves. In Modbus communication there must always be one master and at least one slave.
The master always initiates a communication exchange. Each slave on a Modbus network has its own unique
address (1...247) so that it can be addressed independently from other slaves. This address is sent by the
master as part of every message. All slaves on the network see the message, but only the slave with the
matching address will respond to the message.
A message sent to a slave from the master is called a request, the answer sent back to the master is called a
response. Request and response messages are also called packets or frames.
The master can issue a Modbus request to slaves in Unicast mode. In Unicast mode, the master addresses
an individual slave. After receiving and processing the request, the slave returns a message (response) to
the master.
Modbus communication on an RS-485 network is limited to a maximum of 32 slaves due to the limitations of
this physical layer.
